We, the undersigned Colorado environmental and conservation organizations, are concerned about current and proposed “wildfire fuel reduction” logging projects across millions of acres of Colorado’s carbon-storing forests at the federal, state, county, and municipal level. [1]
Despite overwhelmingly negative public feedback, Jefferson County Open Space is in the final stages of logging hundreds of acres of Alderfer/Three Sisters Park in Evergreen, Colorado—including fire-resistant old-growth ponderosa pine trees up to 211 years old—under the justification of “wildfire fuels,” ignoring an entire body of peer-reviewed scientific studies disputing claims of such “thinning” protecting communities.
Eco-Integrity Alliance is pleased to announce the receipt of a grant from Ben & Jerry’s Foundation for our campaign to Protect National Forests as Climate & Biodiversity Reserves.
Eco-Integrity Alliance is pleased to announce our receipt of a generous grant from a foundation based in the western U.S. for its Rocky Mountain Wildfire-Forests Media Campaign.
The goal of the campaign across Colorado, Idaho, Montana, New Mexico, Utah, and Wyoming, is to balance the dominant narrative promoting unscientific “wildfire fuel reduction” logging in mainstream and alternative media.
On episode 69 of the Green Root Podcast—the official podcast of Eco-Integrity Alliance—host Josh Schlossberg talks about the state of environmental media and shares a big announcement.
One year after Jefferson County Open Space cut hundreds of fire-resistant mature and old growth trees up to 129 years of age in Elk Meadow Park in Evergreen, Colorado under the scientifically-challenged premise of “wildfire fuel reduction,” dozens more trees are dying as a result of the logging.
On May 26 Eco-Integrity Alliance hosted a guided hike for over thirty people (photo shows most, though not all attendees) through a section of the Pike National Forest outside Sedalia threatened by 116,600 acres of scientifically-contested “wildfire fuel reduction” logging, the largest logging project in Colorado history.
On Sunday, May 26 at 10 a.m. Eco-Integrity Alliance will host a guided hike through a section of the Pike National Forest outside Sedalia threatened by 116,600 acres of scientifically-contested “wildfire fuel reduction” logging. The easy to moderate hike is free and open to the public with an RSVP to eia [at] eco-integrityalliance [dot] org.
On episode 68 of the Green Root Podcast—the official podcast of Eco-Integrity Alliance—host Josh Schlossberg invites you to take part in the National Day of Forest-Climate Action on May 28 while giving his theory about why more environmental groups have yet to make the connection.
On Sunday, May 26 at 10 a.m. you’re invited on a guided hike through public forests threatened by the “Lower North-South Vegetation Management” outside Sedalia. The 3-mile, slow-to-moderately-paced hike will include identifying birds and rare, medicinal, and edible plants threatened by logging, along with evidence showing how this project will harm wildlife and the climate, all while increasing the risk of wildfire spreading to local communities.
